WAUKESHA, Wis. —

A homeless sex offender was arrested Saturday along Waukesha's riverwalk after he allegedly sat on a park bench with his "junk" hanging out, a criminal complaint said.

Timothy Inzeo, 55, told police he wasn't aware his genitals were exposed when a woman approached him shortly before 2 p.m. near North Barstow Street and Corrina Boulevard, the complaint said.

The woman, Susan Mass, said she was with two other women enjoying the riverwalk when she noticed a man lounging on a park bench with his penis and testicles visible through one of the legs of his shorts. Mass told police that she approached Inzeo and told him that his "junk was hanging out" and that he needed to take care of it.

Mass said Inzeo ignored the woman's complaint, but he said he apologized.

Mass called police, and responding officers found Inzeo seated on the bench. Police said Inzeo saw them, stood up and walked away while glancing over his shoulder several times.

A records check revealed that Inzeo is a registered sex offender. He's homeless because shelters will not accept him due to his sex offender status, the complaint said.

Inzeo faces up to nine months in jail and up to $10,000 in fines if convicted of one count of lewd and lascivious behavior, a Class A misdemeanor.
